This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

The man scrutinized the girl before him. Her round face had bright, sparkling eyes, and a red birthmark between her eyebrows. Looking at him, she showed no fear, only inquiry.

That focus and awareness that belong to adults shouldn't be on this child's face.

He thought that perhaps the sect leader really did choose the right person, but it was too early to make a judgment. After all, people and things are constantly changing, and there are countless examples of good people turning bad and bad people turning good.

Looking at the little girl's clear eyes, he couldn't help but smile. "Hello! I am the person in charge of receiving people from the Guiyuan Sect. My name is Hu Sheng. If you have no other requests, we can set off."

Lianxue hesitated. She glanced at Hu Sheng and said, "But I haven't found Sister Qingshu yet."

Before Hu Sheng could answer, Jingwei stopped crying and wiped her tears and snot with Lianxue's clothes.

Seeing this, Kuroba's fur stood on end. This was just too ridiculous. Didn't you have a handkerchief...?

Of course, nobody understood what it meant.

Black Feather stood on Lianxue's shoulder with great disdain, and even if Lianxue wanted to hug it, it would rather die than comply.

After wiping away her tears, Jingwei said, "Qingshu is fine. She was recruited by the Hundred Flowers Sect and then left. I'll tell you the details later."

Seeing this, Hu Sheng said, "Now that you're at ease, shall we set off?"

Everyone was surprised that Hu Sheng would be so polite to Ye Lianxue, even asking her if she was leaving, which made them even more annoyed and jealous.

Seeing the envious looks around her, Lianxue said helplessly, "I'll listen to you." Having no other choice, she had to pass the buck.

Hu Sheng found it amusing, and the corners of his mouth turned up even more. "Alright, then I announce our departure."

No one had any objections. What everyone was most concerned about now was getting to the sect as soon as possible, so that they would have the sect's support from then on.

More than four hundred people left in a grand procession, and the people of the city watched them go.

Some were happy, some were sad, all sorts of reactions: some wept softly, some laughed heartily, some sighed... and so on.

From this moment on, a new journey begins.

The gears of fate have begun to turn; everything is destiny.

Upon arriving outside the city, Hu Sheng released three giant birds, which carried everyone into the sky.

Jingwei insisted on sitting with Lianxue, so the two of them rode on a bird. The bird's back was broad, and it could easily accommodate a hundred people. The bird carried a total of one hundred and twenty people.

Looking at the sect receding into the distance, everyone felt a surge of emotions, each harboring aspirations for the future.

What Lianxue most wanted to know was naturally what happened after she entered the formation.

However, without Lianxue asking, Jingwei began to speak.

"Let me start by telling you what happened after I came out. Everyone had already finished their assessments, including Qing Shu. Then she told me why her clothes were on me..."

Lianxue listened attentively, and finally asked, "What about Qingshu?"

Jingwei knew what to ask, so she said directly, "In the end, she was chosen by the Hundred Flowers Sect. Although she was reluctant to leave you, she had no choice but to be taken away. You also understand that joining a sect means you have to follow their arrangements."

Lianxue nodded. She understood, but she was just a little worried. "As long as she's safe and sound, that's all that matters. I'm just afraid that she'll be sad when she goes to a strange place, all alone, without anyone she knows."

Seeing Lianxue's conflicted state, Jingwei felt a pang of pity and suddenly hugged her, comforting her, "Don't worry, she'll be alright. Everyone needs the courage to face difficulties."

The sudden hug startled Lianxue. Feeling the warmth of the embrace, she was deeply moved. From that moment on, Jingwei was also included in Lianxue's list of friends.

She responded softly, "Mmm!" and then hugged Jingwei back.

Without flowery words, the two girls gave simple answers, and at that moment, a deep friendship was established between them.

Just as Lianxue had feared, a giant bat-like beast from the Hundred Flowers Sect was flying in the distant sky.

Bat-like figure, with red-rimmed eyes and tears streaming down her face, looked pitiful.

Qing Shu asked, sobbing, "Senior Sister Noah, why didn't you let me see Lian Xue, say goodbye, and then leave?"

Looking at the child who was crying helplessly, Liu Nuoya was moved by her sisterly affection and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, you will meet again soon. Just wait three years. In three years, all the sects will have a competition, and you will see each other then." After saying that, she looked at the endless void, with a little expectation in her heart.

Then she added, "But you'd better work hard at your training, or you'll be outdone by your sisters!"

The words were light and without any pressure, and Qing Shu relaxed as well. "Really? Then I will work hard and I will definitely not back down."

At this moment, everyone may think that this is just childish talk, but the future is still unknown.

No sooner had Lian Xue and the others left the Ancient Fiend Sect than dozens of people landed. Among them was a young man dressed in black, with finely drawn eyebrows, bright black eyes, and a cold expression.

This person was Leng Yaoye. He had been selected to join the Ancient Fiend Sect, but had only just arrived due to some trouble he encountered on the way.

Therefore, Lianxue and he missed each other perfectly.

Lian Xue and the others flew in the sky.

After passing through countless towns, and seeing bustling areas, desolate deserts, azure lakes, and lush forests, Lianxue felt that she was still too weak.

After a long journey, some people sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, while others lazily lay down to sleep.

Looking at those who were fast asleep, Hu Sheng sighed, "Ignorance breeds fearlessness; I hope you can always remain so."

His words drifted away with the wind; even if someone heard them, they wouldn't remember them.

Turning back, he saw Lianxue cultivating and smiled without any attempt to hide it. "This child seems promising. However, in this cultivation world, opportunities and dangers coexist. I hope you can maintain your original aspirations and not be defeated by the cruel setbacks of the cultivation world."

Hu Sheng remained silent, standing atop the bird's head, gazing at the endless night, a sense of unease settling in his heart.

On a mountain peak of the Guiyuan Sect, Sect Master You Heng was giving instructions to his disciple, "Little Orange, let me tell you, I'm going into seclusion. There's a little girl I really like this time. When she arrives, you must teach her properly, understand? Otherwise, I'll hold you responsible."

Cheng Yu rubbed her temples helplessly. "Master, I'm not a child anymore, could you please change how you address me? I don't even know who you're talking about. I'm very curious about what kind of person could catch your eye."

You Heng arrogantly raised his head, "Reject the request. Little Orange is so wonderful! Of course, the best person is the one I choose. Her name is Ye Lianxue. And when she arrives, give this to her." After saying that, he handed Cheng Yu a box.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Forget it, you should go there yourself. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease. After you bring Lianxue back, you can go and deliver the pills back to her."

Cheng Yu's face fell. "Master, I'm an instructor now, not a gofer."

You Heng frowned unhappily. "Just go when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense? If I weren't in a hurry to go into seclusion, I wouldn't need you. It's settled then." He didn't give him any time to refuse.

Cheng Yu had no choice but to agree. Thinking about it, it made sense. If a little girl had to run back and forth and something happened in between, it would take at least a month or two, which would interfere with her cultivation. She comforted herself, bowed, turned around, and left decisively.

When Master You saw his disciple leave, his stern face broke into a smile like a chrysanthemum, and he walked into the inner room.
